Not only did Yang Ting not expect this, but Wen Nian also did not expect it.

She didn’t know what to say. In the end, she could only say, “Thank you, Grandpa.”

At this moment, the staff also came over to inform them that they needed to enter the auction venue. Only then did the group walk out of the lounge. Old Mr. Shen kept talking to Wen Nian, so Yang Ting had no chance at all.

Just as she was about to follow him, Shen Jun stopped her. “How long are you going to follow me?”

“Me? How can you say that about me?” Yang Ting’s eyes were filled with grievance. “I haven’t seen Grandpa in a long time. What’s wrong with wanting to chat with him?”

“Who’s your grandfather? Don’t talk nonsense,” Shen Jun said coldly. “My grandfather has only seen you a few times. What’s there to talk about with him? Is the Yang family here to chat today?”

Many people looked over. Yang Ting was really not thick-skinned enough to not care about the gazes of others at all. She could only leave awkwardly.

When the auction started, Shen Jun frowned. “Is it raw stone today?”

Shen Wei said with slight displeasure, “What’s wrong with raw stones? This is a test of judgement. What does a little brat like you know?”

He turned to Wen Nian and said, “I saw on the Internet that you’re quite lucky. Can you help Grandpa take a look later?”

Wen Nian heaved a sigh of relief. If it was really the same as what she had experienced in her previous life, she could really help.

However, Shen Jun, who was at the side, was unwilling. “Wen Nian has always been in school. How would she know which raw stone is good? You’re making things difficult for her!”

“I told her to choose whatever she wants. Why are you so concerned?” Shen Wei was also a little unhappy. “I just want to give her a gift. Nian Nian, you can choose later. Don’t worry, these stones have been screened a few times. It’s good no matter what you choose.”

Wen Nian only smiled and nodded at the side. She knew that not every stone was so outstanding this time. There were two huge pits in the last few pieces. In her previous life, Wei Xiao had even lost more than five million yuan.

At the beginning of the auction, there were only some relatively ordinary raw stones. The price of about 100,000 to 1,000,000 yuan was not very high. It was just to liven up the atmosphere. Moreover, the auction took place with one piece at a time. Then, the stone was directly opened on the spot. Although it seemed a little messy, the quality of the stone could be seen more directly, and the scene was also very lively.

Old Mr. Shen had also been explaining to Wen Nian about the auction and how to look at these stones.

“Sigh, but it’s useless to talk about experience. Even advanced equipment can’t see what’s inside the stone, let alone the naked eye.” Shen Wei sighed. “It all depends on luck.”

“Grandpa, you’re in luck. You’ll definitely be able to get a good raw stone later,” Wen Nian said with a smile.

“Don’t just look at me. I’m just here to join in the fun. Our first meeting was so sudden, so I didn’t prepare a gift for you. Just pick a stone on the spot.” Shen Wei said generously, “As long as you like it, Grandpa will give it to you!”

Wen Nian’s heart warmed as she said that there was no need. They had only met once, but Shen Jun’s grandfather actually liked her so much and even wanted to give her such an expensive gift.

However, Shen Wei was unhappy. “You should just choose. Could it be that you’re looking down on Grandpa? If you continue like this, I’ll really be angry! Don’t you treat me as family?”

Shen Jun also helped from the side. “The old man has plenty of money. Pick the most expensive one.”

Wen Nian pushed him gently. He took the opportunity to hold her hand and interlocked his fingers below. He even scratched Wen Nian’s palm.

She was a little speechless. She turned around and saw the old man looking at her expectantly. Wen Nian looked down at the number 3 raw stone being auctioned. She thought for a moment and said, “This one then.”

Shen Wei looked at the stone and then at the introduction on the tablet. He asked in confusion, “Are you sure? The starting price is only 100,000 yuan. It’s definitely not something good.”

“It suits my taste. I’ll take it.” Wen Nian nodded vigorously.

Old Mr. Shen looked at the number 3 stone that was being auctioned. It was a big block and did not look like a good raw stone at all. However, when he thought about how Wen Nian said that it suited her taste, he decided to bid for it. No one even raised the price.

As for the first three cuts on the stone, they were indeed not good. In fact, everyone present was an expert. They naturally knew that this stone did not look good from the outside.

However, 100,000 yuan was not a lot. Everyone felt that it was just for fun.

Wen Nian muttered softly, “Then let’s open it from the middle. Otherwise, it will waste more time.”

Shen Wei also felt that this stone probably wouldn’t be of any good quality. He waved his hand and asked to open the stone from the middle. With this slash, the people in front gasped.. It was actually top-grade glass-type imperial jade!
